Thinking of seeing Australia in a caravan or car? Travelling across our vast, ever changing country? Heading out remotely for work? With plenty of people exploring this beautiful continent and all its remoteness, satellite communications can often be the only means of communication.
Satcom Global provides a range of satellite phones and devices to keep you connected, and we wanted to take this opportunity to highlight the range of services we offer, catering for all market sectors. Whether you need a simple and easy to use satellite phone when no terrestrial network is available, or a data solution for more regular use, we have a communications solution to suit your needs.
The IsatPhone 2 from Inmarsat is a robust handheld satellite phone that provides excellent voice quality, fast network registration, an extended battery life and a global assistance feature. This phone is designed to withstand tough and harsh environments, so is perfect for storing in your backpack or car for use when needed whilst travelling.
Iridium also provides handheld satellite phones boasting clear voice quality and industrial grade design, built to withstand the harshest climates. The Iridium Extreme 9575 is a military grade, robust handset, which also features an SOS button for emergency response with GPS tracking. Iridium’s 9555 satellite phone provides a compact and easy to use device with an industrial grade design. Both the 9575 and 9555 satellite phones are water, shock and dust resistant, provide voice, SMS and short email messaging as well as truly global coverage.
Other satellite devices that may also be of interest to travellers and adventure seekers, include the Iridium GO!, the Thuraya Satsleeve+ and the IsatHub iSavi, which turn your smartphone into a satellite phone. The Iridium GO! is a compact, portable unit which provides global voice and SMS services over satellite by connecting up to five smart devices, acting as a Wi-Fi hotspot. Thuraya’s SatSleeve+ also provides satellite connection over Wi-Fi, allowing a smartphone to dock into the SatSleeve+ with voice being routed through the phone. The IsatHub iSavi, is another compact device that works as a satellite Wi-Fi hotspot with higher data speeds allowing for more information to be passed, more quickly.
Whether your needs are small for only occasional use in the outback, or you have more demanding requirements for frequent communications whilst travelling across Australia, we can help you choose the right device to cater for your individual requirements. We also offer very competitive pre-paid and post-paid airtime pricing through our self-managed GlobalNet portal for activations, top ups, and support.
